Description

**An Exceptional Four Bedroom Country Residence with One Bedroom Detached Annexe, Extensive Garaging and 2.5 Acres of Beautiful Grounds**

Occupying an enviable position within the prestigious Stagenhoe Park Estate, Church Lodge is a distinguished four-bedroom detached family home set within approximately 2.5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds. Combining generous and versatile accommodation, the property benefits from a detached one-bedroom annexe, garaging and an idyllic rural setting.

The Main Residence: occupying over 2500 sqft of accommodation offers a welcoming entrance opens into an elegant dining hall, leading through to the impressive living room, where a magnificent inglenook fireplace creates a wonderful focal point. The well-appointed kitchen offers ample storage and workspace, while the bright sunroom enjoys beautiful views across the gardens.

The first floor provides four generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a luxurious principal suite. A versatile attic room offers further accommodation, ideal as a home office, studio, hobbies room or occasional guest bedroom.

Part of the grounds is currently used as equestrian and there is stabling potential. Two dwellings formerly stood within the grounds and were demolished in 1995, there bases remain and there is potential to restore or develop STPP.
